“Working with Sterling was a dream. She is so mindful and intentional throughout the photoshoot, creating a safe and sacred space so your true essence can come out to play and truly shine. The entire shoot is a ritual, connecting with the land through love and gratitude, and connecting with the body through breathing exercises. I would recommend her to anyone looking to see themselves for who they truly are, allowing their soul’s radiance to show through.”

“Sterling's presence in itself is calming and grounding. She has a very special gift that I've experienced and also learned from — she is present, genuine and comforting, it may sound simple but it's a treasure and one not commonly encountered. The breathing and meditation exercises we did before the photoshoot helped me to feel comfortable in front of a camera. Sterling helped me to feel comfortable in my own skin - which to me is priceless. As a light-skinned Pacific Islander, I rarely felt comfortable with my appearance... until I moved to the mainland for college. But even then while I felt adequately assimilated, my soul felt split. This experience has helped me to love myself wholly and fully, marrying my two selves that I had kept separate for too long. Never would I have thought that a photoshoot would allow me that. Sterling’s talents are very special and unique. I am forever grateful that our paths crossed. To anyone thinking about an embodiment photoshoot, I say go for it. And if an embodiment photoshoot doesn't really sound like your thing, still consider it :) I thought the same, but I'm really glad that I did it. I've always wanted to be able to capture the moon's beauty as seen through my eyes... not easy. But Sterling seems to do just that in her photography. Capturing the pure beauty and magic of another!”

“Connecting with Sterling for an embodiment shoot was an unforgettably empowering and grounding experience. Sterlings calm energy made it easy to focus on the importance of honoring myself in the present moment. She has a natural gift to provide a safe space for creativity, guiding you with softness, acceptance, and positive light. As someone who is rather shy, I felt strong in my ability to trust the process with her gentle offerings, and connect deeper to self love within nature. The evening of our shoot was one of the most magically serene experiences landing at such a pivotal transition in my life. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and intuitive guide to capture the light that shines within. Looking forward to the opportunity to connect and create again.”

“My experience with Sterling was incredible and in many ways she was a lifesaver. I fully believe the universe aligned the stars at exactly the most vital time in my life and helped me to find her when I needed her most. The photoshoot was one of the most important and wonderful experiences I could have been blessed with at this difficult but exciting stage in my life. She created a calm and warm environment, but most importantly for me, a safe place. I highly recommend Sterling for her life-changing embodiment photoshoots.”

“Working with Sterling was an absolute joy and pleasure! Her gift as an artist and photographer is not only incredible but the container she held during the photo shoot was so healing!! It was such a beautiful container and she is not only a talented artist but a healer. At the beginning of our time together, she led me through a grounding and breathwork exercise that was so centering and helped me connect to my spirit. I felt so comfortable and at ease! Through the flow of our collaboration I was able to lean into deep embodiment supported by Sterling, the surroundings that we were in, nature, and the elements. She captured the essence of my spirit through the photos so distinctly. Sterling offerings are unique and special and I cannot recommend giving yourself the gift of doing a photo shoot with Sterling enough!”

“Sterling is the most wonderful photographer. Our first shoot together we hiked a trail to a river. I am not the most athletically inclined and I have a fear of heights to boot, but Sterling held my hand when I was nervous, and even found spots along the way to take some pictures. She has such a calming presence I instantly felt at ease with her. She was open to ideas but also had a solid concept in her mind. She always noted the details; whether my hair was out of place, or fewer ferns were needed. Spending the day tree bathing and sitting with my feet in the water was so restorative and brought me so much peace. I knew I definitely wanted to work with Sterling again. The finished photos were extraordinary. She really has such an eye, and such a gift for capturing an interesting shot. When I looked at the photos of me, in the woods, I thought, “I look like art.” And any photographer who can make her model see that in a photograph is an incredible artist.”

“Spent a magical afternoon with Sterling in the forest. Her calm energy instantly puts you at ease. She is a master at gently directing the shoot to bring out your best light. It's so easy to work with her and I am beyond thrilled with the photos! The composition of the photos and sunlight makes each one pure art. Would definitely make a trip to work with her again.”
